Quote:Anyway my original point was that the amp was an example of fashion and style more than a sensible valve guitar amp that would have been better with 2 x EL84 rather than 2 valves with a changeover switch. Why not even a centre off switch rather than a printed warning not to changeover while the amp is on?
Hi Mike
The amp that you describe sounds a bit like an amp I repaired about 15 years ago. I think it was called a THD Univalve (single ended class A) and was an amp that you could swap the octal valve using an adapter to give you whatever sound made you feel warm and fuzzy or whatever. It had a tendency to run some valves cherry red, - a bit of a fad really.
